Newbie Reading Material 3

[a6m1n0]

I'm on Amazon.com and looking for Delphi books...there are a lot of books on Delphi.

I use Turbo Delphi Professional (CodeGear Developer Studio 2006) but I have a litle experience with Delphi 7 and lazarus/fpc2.

Are there any books in particular that helped you learn Delphi/Turbo Pascal?

Thanks in advance.

Try

At least the price is right. (What am I saying, it's a good book.)

If you can get your hands on the old D3..D7 documentation (I think, I have D5) it is a goldmine of information.

Even when I am using D2006 I tend to refer to the older help files.

Here's a couple that I've really liked:

Delphi Basics

Download the Windows program $10 (around £6) worth every penny.

@harebrain - Nothing beats free.

@Duoas - I have D7 around here somewhere...I'll have to dig it up. I do remember being disappointed with the Help in Turbo/D2006 when I first installed -- and I continue to be. Is there a way to link the help facility of 2006 to D7? (Press F1 and get D7 Help instead of 2006?) Would that even be advisable? Just asking.

@rdale2 - This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks to all of you for the help...have a star!

It's perhaps a little dated now, but I wrote an FAQ on this a number of years ago:

Hi Stretchwickster, when I was giving away stars I did notice the link on the right below each post "Check out the FAQ area for this forum" link and sure enough there was your FAQ. I did find the information useful, and thanks for pointing it out.
